osOpinion: Microsoft - Apple's Enemy or Savior? «Microsoft and Apple have enjoyed five years of symbiotic relations and are looking to make their ties span a decade. In an exclusive interview, Kevin Browne, general manager of Microsoft's Mac business unit, told NewsFactor: "We felt that making the strongest possible statement of support was vital to customer acceptance of OS X, so Office v.X runs only on OS X. We're out of business if OS X does not succeed."» Please read the complete article under the title link. (sd) [News message: 10.

This issue mainly deals with the news that 'Vulcan Software' have now ported the Valhalla series over to IBM compatible PCs.

There's also further information about the company and walkthroughs to the Valhalla games (Amiga versions). You will find all the latest news about the AmigaOne, and pictures and first-hand accounts from the Alt-WOA show in Huddersfield.

Surf tip: Abmahnungswelle.de While searching for comprehensive information about the topic "warnings" I came today across the website "Abmahnungswelle.de". The website offers many details about the topic and gives many useful and up-to-date hints for homepage provider. For all who run a homepage, no matter whether private or for business, is this website a treasure house for important information.
Many private homepage owners may possibly not be aware of the fact that the new
laws TelediensteGesetz (TDG) and/or Mediendienste-Staatsvertrags (MDStV) provide for
example that everyone running a website that is publicly open has to
fulfil his/her information duties about "purpose and identity".
That means among other things that it is one's duty to make the name and address
of the responsible person available. In the (German) article
Information duty
for purpose and identity by Abmahnungswelle.de you can find comprehensive
tips for this.

Hans-Jörg and Thomas Frieden withdraw from public discussions Hans-Jörg and Thomas Frieden from Hyperion have decided to not take part anymore in public discussions on mailing lists, newsgroups and forums and have unsubscribed from all lists. This counts from now on. For questions and discussions on personal basis, though, they are still at your disposal.
Work on our projects will not be affected by this. OS 4 will still be developed in the same way it used to be. We're just pulling out of the public. I'm sorry we have to take such drastic measures, but it simply doesn't work otherwise anymore. You can still contact us personally, we're open for discussion, but no longer in public. Fact is that everything we say will end up on some web page or forum, being dissected to death and commented with all sort of nice wording, so the best solution is obviously to say nothing at all. Thanks for reading this.
Best regards, |

Domain quarrels: AMIGAplus 03/2002 with delay Nico Barbat wrote: As reported have the editorial department and the publisher of the AMIGAplus been warned by a lawyer in the case Cyberdyne-Systems. To avoid further conflicts we have decided yesterday to remove a planned article covering this case in the news rubric of the coming issue. Further legality steps in the way of a collective suit and complaints at the lawyers association against the sueing side are in discussion right now. The AMIGAplus 03/2002 that was to be released on March 13th will be delivered because of this printing delay about three days later than planned. We ask for you to excuse this.

MI newsletter problem Martin Merz: As you maybe mentioned there was no newsletter with this release of the new MasonIcons due to problems with my email account and the amount of new subscribers. That's why I decided to change to YahooGroups. As far as I know not everybody is satisfied to be stored in a YahooGroup so I deleted the old subscriptions completly.
To subscribe to the new newsletter please visit the MasonIcons homepage.
Please contact me if you have any suggestions.
